Description
This hydroponic transparent planter uses the landless crop to invite you to observe the growth of the entire plant, both the leaves and the roots. In the landless crop, the plants feed on the nutrients dissolved in the water. For this reason, the CitySens transparent pot includes quality nutrients designed for landless cultivation, also known as hydroponics. The color and sifting of glass protects the roots from ultraviolet (UV) light.
materials
The plant support is manufactured on demand by 3D printing at the Citysens studio in Tarragona with the 3D printing technology TuMaker NX Pro Direct Drive HR, developed in Irun, Gipuzkua.
Each plant holder is made up of 108 layers of 300 microns of height of the lactic polyacid biopolymer (PLA) mixed with 40% wood.
The use of wood biopolymer makes the piece have an organic texture and a sweet smell reminiscent of ground coffee or wet wood.
To manufacture the transparent pots, we collaborate with Juan Righetti, craftsman of glass based in LempordĆ , Gerona. In his Upcycling Bottles project, Juan uses glass bottles that he collects from different bars and restaurants in the area. It cleans and transforms them through an artisanal process into objects of great value.
INDICATIONS FOR USE
Place the stem of the plant inside the support, with the roots clean of the substrate inside the transparent pot.
Add water to cover the roots, without the water touching the stem of the plant.
Add nutrients Citysens in the ratio of 4 drops of nutrients per glass of water. The plant takes the food from the nutrients dissolved in the water.
Oxygen or change water with nutrients once a month. The roots need oxygen for their correct development.
